Missionaries & Ministries We Support:
Don and Teleka Dewing
Don and Teleka Dewing have served the Lord with Midwest Indian Mission since 1974. Don currently pastors Lake Lucerne Gospel Chapel which serves the Forest County Potawatomi, a tribe of about 500 members in the Stone Lake reservation just east of Crandon. He also is the Pastor and Director at Sunnyside Community Church.
Living Stones International
Living Stones International (LSI) was founded in 1992 (as News Service 2000) for the sole purpose of helping the Persecuted Church around the world. Their personnel has traveled in Communist countries in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. However, much of the work of Living Stones today is focused on Muslim majority countries, with ongoing projects in the Middle East and North Africa.
Living Stones International aids persecuted Christians through encouragement, Bible distribution, humanitarian aid, informed prayer, and supporting leaders and believers in their local churches.
Dennis and Linda Schermer
Dennis and Linda have been supported by Pine Grove for over 30 years. Based in Indiana, Dennis produces Gospel-centered video and audio projects in many languages for ministries around the world through Rock International. He and Linda often travel within the U.S. and occasionally overseas to record needed material. Their passion is seeing the spread the Good News of Christ worldwide through high-quality media presentations.
Wise Intentional Leadership Development
Over half of Africa’s population is 25 and younger. Who is developing the minds of African and Asian youth? WILD offers biblical leadership material that is simple, understandable and culturally transferable. Several world views are attempting to capture the minds of the young people. Whatever worldviews aggressively pursues the next generation, will control their respective continents in the future.
Operation Christmas Child
Every year we partner with and serve as a drop-off point for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has provided an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift to more than 220 million children in over 170 countries and territories. Through the shoeboxes, children around the world learn of God's love, and in many cases, end up themselves ministering to their family, friends, and communities because of this mission impact.
Fort Wilderness
8,000 campers head north each year to join the Fort Family via several different camp options. More than 20 year-round Missionary Staff and hundreds of volunteers make up the team. We as a church, support the ministry as a whole through sending funds to help financially support staff that attend PGCC on a regular basis.
